Full circle moment as I reread Many Forms of Culture (Cohen, 2009) and found notes written in from the summer before I started grad school about Religious v. Cultural Jews — next week I defend my dissertation focused on understanding different facets of Jewish Identity.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

PSA 🧵
Religion Research Friends don't let other religion research friends (RRFs) explain what they really do for a living to strangers on a plane
RRFs confirm a very bland back story w/ each other that they use like some form of temporarily induced witness protection ID to & from a conference

Boosting my intro thread with all the new folks on 🦋! I study how we think about our own religious and cultural IDs, how those IDs impact our thoughts and behaviors in both secular and religious settings, and the boundaries we may draw when deciding to include/exclude others from our social ID
As the semester starts this week, I wanted to officially mention that I will be on the post-doc/job market this cycle! My research broadly focuses on how our religious and cultural identity may impact our identity, thoughts, and behaviors 🧵
